on premises

Note:
       To have more than 1,000 people, you must have a COVID Management Plan approved by SA Health.
       You can find more information and submit a COVID Management Plan via www.covid-19.sa.gov.au.
       Additionally, funerals and weddings are currently limited to 100 attendees, unless they are held at home.
        If held at home, a maximum number of 10 visitors applies. This is in addition to the number of people who
        usually live there, up to an overall maximum of 20 people (including both a maximum of 10 visitors and
        those who usually reside at the home).

                                                              This COVID-Safe Plan was issued on 23/08/2020
   The above capacity limits apply unless lower capacity limits apply to your premises under existing
        legislation, regulation or licensing arrangements. For example: if you have a small venue liquor licence,
        lower capacity limits will likely apply to your premises than the ones listed above.

Obligations

General principles

General obligations - density
       The maximum number of members of the public per separate room or outdoor area must not exceed 1
        person per 2 square metres of publicly accessible space. Note: this requirement does not apply to movable
        places.
       To be considered a separate room, a space must be enclosed by a ceiling, and substantially enclosed by
        floor to ceiling walls, regardless of whether the ceiling or walls or any part of them are permanent or
        temporary.
General obligations - distancing
       Have measures in place to maintain and encourage others to maintain the physical distancing principle of
        at least 1.5 metres separation. This includes:
            o   Between groups within each room.
            o   At entry and exit points.
            o   This does not apply to those who attend as a group, such as members of the same household,
                family or people who otherwise regularly associate with each other.
            o   For larger venues, complying with this requirement means that you will need to have crowd
                control measures in place, including in relation to queuing.
General obligations – COVID-Safe Plan
       A COVID-Safe Plan must be submitted by all individuals or organisations that own, operate or host Defined
        Public Activities as outlined by the Emergency Management (Public Activities) (COVID-19) Direction.

        This includes most venues/facilities that were previously directed to close by Emergency Management
        Directions.

        The form must be produced on request from an authorised officer.
General obligations – capacity limits
       No more than 1,000 people are allowed on site at any one time. To be allowed to have more than 1,000
        people on-site, you will need to prepare a dedicated COVID Management Plan and have this approved by
        SA Health.
       If your venue is hosting a wedding (ceremony or reception) or a funeral (service or wake), only 100 people
        are allowed to attend this event (excluding any necessary staff), regardless of your venue's overall
        capacity.
General obligations – COVID Marshals

                                                                This COVID-Safe Plan was issued on 23/08/2020
   From 21 August 2020, any business or activity that requires a COVID Management Plan to be allowed to
        operate, must also have at least one dedicated COVID Marshal on site at all times.

        This means a dedicated staff member who is 18 or older, has completed training as prescribed by SA
        Health, who is clearly identifiable as a COVID Marshal, and whose duty is to supervise and ensure that all
        people onsite comply with the COVID Management Plan, including distancing, density, hygiene and
        cleaning, infection control, venue layout, ensuring stock of items like sanitiser, and other requirements as
        relevant (such as keeping attendance records).

        If you operate 24/7 with staff not always onsite, you only need to have a COVID Marshal onsite at all times
        of high patronage.

        If you reasonably expect 200 people or more to be onsite at the same time, the COVID Marshal may not
        have any other duties than being a COVID Marshal.
       The owner, operator or person who is effectively in charge of a business or activity is responsible for
        ensuring that a COVID Marshal is in place.

        They must also keep records of completion of Marshals' training, and provide these records to an
        authorised officer on request.

I understand that the above requirements are legal obligations under current               Checked
Emergency Management directions. If I do not comply with these, I may face a
fine of up to $5,000

Hospitality

Hospitality - general
       Food and beverages (including alcohol) may only be consumed on-site when seated. Where seated at
        tables, these must be physically separate from any bar or other area for taking orders. Stand-up drinking,
        eating/drinking while moving around on-site or mingling etc is not allowed.
       Members of the public may consume food or beverages in places that are primarily recreational facilities,
        such as bowling, mini-golf, pool and similar venues while using these facilities if:
            o   they do so in an area that is physically separate from a bar or other area for taking orders
            o   they generally remain in the vicinity of the recreational facilities they/their group are using
            o   shared equipment, such as golf clubs, bowling balls etc, and other frequently touched surfaces are
                cleaned between each use by different individuals or groups.
       Communal food or beverage service areas must remain closed (e.g. keep buffets, salad bars, and
        communal water or beverage dispensers/stations closed).
       Re-usable equipment such as hookah or other pipes, tubes, heads, or any other equipment associated with
        the operation of shisha, smoking or vaping, are not permitted. Supplying such equipment for use away
        from the place (for example, equipment that is hired or loaned out) is also not allowed.
Hospitality - COVID Management Plans
       To be allowed to offer both consumption of alcohol and dancing at licensed and entertainment venues, an
        approved COVID Management Plan is required, regardless of how many patrons you have onsite.

                                                                 This COVID-Safe Plan was issued on 23/08/2020
Dancing and any consumption of alcohol will be taken to be facilitated if you do not take all reasonable
       steps to prevent both dancing and consumption of alcohol at your activity or premises.
      No venues are allowed to operate as a nightclub until they have an approved COVID Management Plan.

       This means that they are required to keep their dancefloors closed and to not play loud, amplified music
       until they have submitted a COVID Management Plan to SA Health and received their approval.

       Until then, nightclubs are only permitted to operate as pubs/bars, that is, with both seated and standing
       patrons and the service of alcohol, but only as long as measures are in place to ensure patrons observe
       physical distancing and that no dancing occurs. For larger venues, this will include crowd control
       measures, including in relation to queuing outside.

       Entertainment such as live music etc is allowed, but physical distancing must be observed at all times
       (whether patrons are seated or standing). Patrons may not congregate in large groups.

       You must implement measures to ensure the above.
      Businesses whose license allows them to provide sexually explicit entertainment must have an approved
       COVID Management Plan before they are allowed to operate.
Hospitality – COVID Marshals
      From 21 August 2020, you must have a COVID Marshal supervising your business/activity at any time if
       you provide food and/or beverages for purchase and consumption onsite. This excludes take-away-only
       operations.
      This means a staff member charged with ensuring your COVID-Safe Plan is being effectively implemented
       and its requirements observed by staff, patrons and other people onsite. This includes distancing, density,
       hygiene and cleaning, infection control, venue layout and readiness, ensuring stock of items like sanitiser,
       and any other requirements as relevant (such as keeping an attendance record, if required).
      COVID Marshals must be 18 years old or older.
      COVID Marshals must have completed training as prescribed SA Health.
      COVID Marshals must take reasonable steps to make themselves visually identifiable as a COVID Marshal.
      If you reasonably expect 200 people or more to be onsite at the same time, your COVID Marshal may not
       have any other duties than being a COVID Marshal.
      If you operate 24/7 with staff not always onsite, you only need to have a COVID Marshal onsite at all times
       of high patronage.
      The owner, operator or person who is effectively in charge of a business or activity is responsible for
       ensuring that a COVID Marshal is in place.
      They must also keep records of completion of Marshals' training, and provide these records to an
       authorised officer on request.

Recommendations

General

Physical distancing
      Consider venue layout and move tables and seating to comply with physical distancing (1.5m separation)
       and density requirements (1 person per 2 square metres).
      Dedicate separate bathroom facilities for each separate room or area of a venue, where possible. Install
       signage to make members of the public aware of which bathroom to use.
      Dedicate separate entry and exit doors from separate rooms, and pathways to encourage “one-way
       traffic” where possible.
      Minimise mixing between separate rooms or groups of people as much as possible.
      Display signage at the venue entrance to instruct members of the public (and staff) not to enter if they are
       unwell or have COVID-19 symptoms.
      Encourage contactless payments to be used where possible.
      Encourage online bookings, reservations and pre-ordering where practical.
      Consider using physical barriers, such as plexiglass screens, in areas that involve high volume interactions
       (e.g. point of sale).
      Consider placing floor/wall markings or signs to identify 1.5 metres distance between people, particularly
       for queues and waiting areas.
      Monitor compliance with physical distancing requirements, with particular regard to areas where
       members of the public might congregate.
      Consider limiting the duration of any activity to 2 hours or less where possible.
      Encourage and support downloading of COVID-Safe App.

Hygiene
      Conduct frequent environmental cleaning and disinfection especially of touch-points (door handles, push
       plates including bathroom, EFTPOS facilities, counters, table tops, backs of chairs, food preparation areas
       etc).
      Frequency of cleaning will be determined by the turn-over of patrons – the more patrons over a period of
       time, the more cleaning required.
      Clean bathrooms more frequently than lower traffic areas, especially taps, door handles and other
       frequently touched points.
      Provide hand sanitiser on entry and exit of the premises.
      Consider installing signage on hand hygiene and cough etiquette.
      Ensure bathrooms have soap and running water for handwashing.

                                                                This COVID-Safe Plan was issued on 23/08/2020
   Hand drying facilities must be made available. Provide disposable paper towels or hand dryers only. Cloth
        towels should only be provided if they are for single use.
       Consider keeping communal showers closed where possible, however, if used, maintain 1.5 metres
        distance between people.
       Communal toilets and change rooms can now be used. Physical distancing should be observed in change
        rooms.
Staff
       Staff must stay home if they are sick, and go home immediately if they become unwell. Unwell staff with
        COVID-19 compatible symptoms should be tested for COVID-19 and remain in isolation until they receive a
        result. They can return to work once a test is negative and their acute symptoms have resolved.
       Minimise unnecessary contact between staff. Consider dividing staff into fixed teams or shifts that do not
        cross over to reduce the risk of transmission.
       Consider how you will minimise contact between staff and site visitors such as delivery personnel.
       Consider if staff need any additional training to be able to implement your COVID-Safe Plan.

Ready for business
       Print or download your COVID-Safe Plan.
       Print and display SA Health COVID-Safe materials (such as signage/posters on hygiene, physical distancing).
       Check the condition of equipment and facilities to ensure they are fully functioning, such as gas, electricity,
        toilets.
       If relevant, check food and beverages have not been contaminated or are now out of date.
       Ensure all staff are aware of this plan and the requirements that are relevant to them.
       Review obligations under existing legislation which will continue to apply.
       Check that COVID-19 safety measures are risk assessed to ensure that any newly implemented measures
        do not create new safety or security risks.
Response planning
       Ensure you and your staff have a basic understanding of how to respond to a case of COVID-19 at the
        workplace.
       A step-by-step summary of actions to take is:
        1.    Keep others away from the confirmed or suspected case. Talk to and assess the person concerned; if
              they need urgent medical help, call 000 immediately.
        2.    If the person is at your premises when symptoms emerge, assess the situation and risks. Talk to the
              person about your concerns and next steps. Seek government health advice.
        3.    If well enough, ask the person to go home, seek medical advice and testing for COVID-19, and self-
              quarantine until a result is returned. Ensure the person has safe transport to get home; if not, you
              may need to arrange for a taxi.
        4.    Close the premises, ask all patrons and unnecessary staff to leave and arrange for a full
              environmental and disinfection clean. Open doors and windows to increase airflow.

                                                                 This COVID-Safe Plan was issued on 23/08/2020
5.    Notify SA Health via HealthCommunicableDiseases@sa.gov.au so that they can trace any contacts of
              this person and contain the spread. SA Health may ask for any attendance records you may have
              kept to assist with this.
        6.    SA Health will assess whether other staff, patrons or contractors may have been exposed to COVID-
              19, and direct them to self-quarantine at home. Note: this may include your staff; as such, it is
              recommended to have contingency plans in place.
       Regularly review your COVID-Safe Plan. Update it if needed, for example if your place of doing business or
        the services you offer change.
COVID Marshals
       COVID Marshal training courses prescribed by SA Health will be made available online at no cost. Visit
        www.covid-19.sa.gov.au for more information.
       Owners, operators or people effectively in charge of a business or activity are legally responsible for the
        overall compliance with their COVID-Safe Plan or COVID Management Plan. This includes responsibility for
        their COVID Marshal(s) and other staff.
       COVID Marshals are not legally responsible for a venue's overall compliance or for the behaviour of
        individual patrons. Instead, they have a duty to their employer/person in charge of the activity to perform
        their role as COVID Marshal to the best of their abilities.
       COVID Marshals must be familiar with their business or activity's COVID-Safe or COVID Management Plan.
        Owners, operators or people effectively in charge of a business or activity should provide a copy of their
        Plan to their COVID Marshal(s) and discuss the Plan and its implementation with them. This gives COVID
        Marshals the information they need to take reasonable action to ensure staff, patrons and other people
        comply with the Plan and the rules and restrictions in it.
       Beyond the mandatory requirements around age and training, it is recommended that people nominated
        as COVID Marshals have good customer service, people and communication skills, a solid knowledge of the
        business or activity's operations, and sufficient experience and authority among staff to supervise and give
        limited directions.

I understand these recommendations and will implement them where I can, to          Checked
the extent possible, to ensure my operations are COVID Safe

Hospitality

Hospitality – distancing:
       Prevent or minimise the use of shared items and equipment for patrons (e.g. remove shared condiments
        at tables, like pepper and salt, sauces). This does not include kitchen equipment.
       Menus should be disposable, laminated or displayed on a board. Laminated menus should be cleaned
        between customers.
       Recreational spaces using shared equipment (e.g. billiards, darts) should be separated from
        dining/beverage consumption areas.
       Physical distancing does not apply to people who attend as a group (for example: a family, a couple, etc).
Hospitality – hygiene:
       Table dressings (table cloth, napkins) should be replaced or cleaned after each customer.

                                                                This COVID-Safe Plan was issued on 23/08/2020
   Ensure you comply with regular food safety standard requirements for cleaning and sanitation of
        equipment. If you have a commercial dishwasher, use it for glassware, crockery and cutlery.Tables and
        chairs (particularly the backs and arms of chairs, as well as table tops) should be cleaned thoroughly
        between diners.
Hospitality – staff:
       Consider allocating waiting staff to serve customers in one separate room only to reduce number of
        contacts within a venue.
       Staff preparing food and/or drinks must maintain the highest levels of hygiene to avoid the transfer of
        body secretions to food.

I understand these recommendations and will implement them where I can, to           Checked
the extent possible, to ensure my operations are COVID Safe

Ceremonies (religious ceremonies/services other than weddings and funerals)

Ceremonies – distancing
       Advise participants to avoid physical closeness (hugging, kissing, hand-shaking) where possible, except
        between immediate family members.
       Establish layout/seating arrangements allow for physical distancing.
       Prayer arrangements should follow 1.5 metre physical distancing.
Ceremonies – hygiene
       If prayer mats are used, people should bring their own.
       Encourage ablution at home.
Ceremonies – choirs and singing
       It is strongly recommended to avoid singing by choirs or any other type of singing in groups. If you do
        decide to allow choirs or singing by other types of groups, these choirs/groups must be physically
        distanced as much as possible (because of increased droplet spread and therefore risk during singing
        activities), both from each other and particularly from the attending public.

I understand these recommendations and will implement them where I can, to           Checked
the extent possible, to ensure my operations are COVID Safe

Weddings (including ceremonies and receptions)

Weddings - distancing
       Advise attendees to avoid physical closeness (hugging, kissing, hand-shaking) where possible, except
        between immediate family members.
       Establish layout/seating arrangements to allow for physical distancing.
       Prayer and similar arrangements should follow 1.5 m physical distancing.

   If prayer mats are used, people should bring their own.
      Encourage ablution at home.
Weddings - singing and live music
      It is recommended to avoid singing by choirs or groups. If you do have choirs/singing groups at your
       wedding, they must be physically distanced as much as possible (because of increased droplet spread and
       therefore risk during singing activities), both from each other and particularly from other attendees.
      If you have live music at your wedding, please ensure the performer(s) are physically distanced from other
       attendees as much as possible, particularly if singing is involved.

I understand these recommendations and will implement them where I can, to          Checked
the extent possible, to ensure my operations are COVID Safe
